According to Tech. Co, 73% of businesses suffered a ransomware attack in 2022. Yet, ransomware is just one of the many unexpected incidents that businesses face. That is why it is of utmost importance that you keep your physical and virtual servers protected so your business can continue to operate should an incident occur.
1-Click Instant Recovery
To help businesses stay protected easily, Quorum has further enhanced our product to fully support both physical and virtual servers while maintaining the same simplicity and ease of use that has become Quorum’s trademark: 1-Click Instant Recovery. While Quorum has been a leader in providing Ransomware Protection andDR support for physical and virtual servers for roughly 15 years, we have taken our support for VMware virtual servers to a new level. Quorum now fully utilizes native VMware tools to back up and recover VMware environments.
Never Been Infected by Ransomware
In addition to protecting VMware, we continue to provide all the features that allow Quorum to state that our product has never been infected by ransomware. These features include
- End-to-end encryption while in motion and at rest
- Maintain immutable backups that lock images down once it is captured.
- Cloud copy provides an air gap that separates your data from the target of most attacks;
- Multi-factor authentication
Easily Protect VMware
Our VMware Integrated Protection (VIP) utilizes vCenter to manage how we backup each of the VMs. We store the backups as VDMKs which allows us to easily and quickly connect these to a VM host to get your environment back up and running. In the next month, we will continue building on our current platform with the release of a new policy engine that will greatly simplify how our customers enroll, backup, and recover servers; this will be ideal for larger environments.
Customizable Protection Plans for Your Servers
Whether your server environment is physical, virtual, or both, we have a number of options for you to customize your protection. The most basic is our Direct-to-Cloud solution. With just a VPN device, you can connect directly to our private cloud. In the event of a disaster, we spin up your environment from the cloud, and you continue to run the business while you resolve the problem, whether a disaster or ransomware.
Another option is our local appliance (HA). This can be paired with a second appliance (DR) to provide you with the replication to comply with the 3-2-1 strategy recommended by disaster recovery experts. With a DR configuration, you can also expand your coverage by having each device provide local support and replicate to its sister appliance; yes, each box can serve as an HA and DR at the same time. Finally, you have the option to replicate the data on the HA into our private cloud.
Dependable, easy to use, and with Great Support
Are we dependable? In one case, a customer had a fire; they ran their business on our devices for months while they worked with insurance and purchased new equipment for their production environment. The most extreme was a company that ran a portion of their production environment from our box for roughly two years; it was not recommended.
We top off a great product with a great team of employees ready to help. Our setup is a nominal fee because it’s easy. We don’t have certification requirements to operate because it is easy. We have a support team and a customer success team you will know by name and will always be available, not because of how often you need to call but because we know you by name, not simply an account number.
